Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Samsung’s Family Hub Smart Fridge is crazy”.
Hey running theater with the verge and we’re taking another look at the Samsung family hub, which, if you haven’t guessed, is a refrigerator with a giant touchscreen. We saw this announced at CES this year in Las Vegas, and now we actually get to use the thing. It’S not just a demo mode. Let me tell you about it. It’S running on Tizen, it’s got this big 1080p touchscreen and it does a bunch of stuff that you would expect a family gadget to do so.
We open this thing up and it’s like your family calendar and you can put photos on it whatever hit this crazy home button on this insane Android like button row, but it’s actually running Tizen go back home. The coolest thing is: MasterCard has made an app that can shop from Fresh Direct or shop right or a few other grocery stores, so you can order groceries directly from the fridge. So you can add stuff to the cart, there’s also a smartphone app that goes along with it. So you can look at your cart from your smartphone and you can just go shopping.
We’Ll go back home again. It’S got Pandora! So there’s speakers somewhere inside this thing. There’S another button here view inside. If I hit that I’m looking at a picture of the stuff inside the fridge, what they do is they have cameras that are hidden right here in the door and every time you close the fridge, the cameras take a picture. So you can, from your smartphone or from the insane touch screen on the door. Look at what happened in your fridge, so we’ll close that give it a tick, and this image will refresh with the stuff. I just moved around inside the fridge, but we’re not going to wait for it. So in terms of like raw power, you don’t buy a giant touchscreen fridge because it’s got awesome specs, but maybe you buy it because you want to draw on and other things. I can show you on this fridge. It does have voice control, so you can turn that on and off, but that’s not working on this unit right now.
You can also slide over to get a bunch of other stuff. You can’t add your own apps to it, but it’s got these apps built in you can mirror your television, so whatever’s playing on your samsung TV will play on this thing. You just go to the Internet. It gives us the phone layout on a giant screen. You can, of course, do fridge things, so we open up the fridge manager app. You can change the temperature settings for each section.
You can turn off the door alarm, you can turn on the icemaker and you can look at recipes there. You go. It’S the samsung family Hub, smart fridge. If you like ridiculous things, I don’t see how you don’t love this thing.
